Consider Red Dwarf, where the special effects are intentionally cheesy in a sort of tribute to Star Trek and Space 1999...hillarious.) Mark

Badmike wrote:Heroes started out great. One of the best pilots I've ever seen. However, I'm getting just a little worried...the last few episodes have been "samey", Nothing is really happening, and much like "Lost" nothing is really being discovered about the Heroes mysterious "purpose", unfortunately I think they are going to end up dragging this plotline out the entire season. I hope the quality writing and characterization continues and they don't start falling into a "power of the week" or "everyone runs around this episode but nothing really happens" rut. Still, they did manage a pretty good run of episodes with a surprise ending every time, some of them quite shocking. And if you love comics, it's by far the best comic book story ever shown on TV (don't be fooled, it's not strictly SF no matter what the promos say, it's a comic book on TV, and they even have a tip of the hat by making one of the main characters a comic book artist and one a uber geek comic book fan!). And don't forget, the cheerleader chick is SMOKING hot and Ali Larter ain't bad either.... Mike B.

One thing I've been impressed with is that the producers seem to have a definite pace in mind and are not falling into a far-too-easy-trap of having the characters all suddenly meet each other for a big group hug. The story and the characters are both being allowed room to breathe first. ..
While were on the topic of BBC Sci-Fi, does anyone remember the Tripods series adapted from the John Christopher novels? Now the effects and acting were on the Dr. Who side, but I always was a sucker for the post-holocaust future stuff. I guess that's why I always loved Gamma World and Aftermath.
